Hourihane 95th Min

[ATL Recs]

But it wasn't was it? We're still 6th and a point better off than Millwall, rather than equal points that would have been if we'd have farted again and lost. I love positivity and getting the win, but there's a time when you're better settling for a point. Not at the start of the game (see Nigel Clough), but in stoppage time when a point leaves us to fight another day. I personally wanted us to settle after the equaliser against Reading, and would have put 7 at the back for the last minute. Pick the time to rage your battles.......

We won’t accumulate more than 4 points with Mr Cautious

If we don’t go up we are fucked, what can’t you get your head around about that?

Will losing your shit change anything
?

One thing I can't handle is grown men overeacting. Used to get them in a few teams I played for. Go 1 nil down and they're moaning instead of being a man and fighting back.The never lasted long. Pathetic.

I used to be the same as him but I think it’s an age thing , you reach an age when you realise what ever you put on here changes nothing … yes discuss things but there’s no point ranting

Well your apathy certainly waint

I actually thought maybe with the sub we were trying to buy an extra 30 seconds. Plus, Fleck was a bit of a liability at that point.

4 points, coupled with our probably still superior goal difference and goals scored will mean that Millwall need to win 2 out 3 games left. A win and 2 draws won't do it for them. Not impossible obviously, but ask a bookie, and we'd be favourites.

Loan agreement or time wasting are the only feasible theories.

Either that, or it's Hecky perpetuating the ex-players helping out current players by giving as many players an appearance bonus as possible

There is never enough time added on for subs in the first place

 

[BladesNo9]

Heckingbottom, McCall and Lester are coaches and not managers. That’s where some of our problems lay. His team selection (Saturday) and his substitutes, (last night was yet another example) . He cannot manager, and that will cause us issues next season….

Hopefully NOT!, cos hopefully he won't be here next season, (After our new multi-Billionaire owner takes over!!)

 

[BladesOnToast]

OK now I understand why.

 

[metalblade]

What the fuck is that all about?

We need a win, he’s making a like for like midfield change with 30 seconds to play

Fucking balloon

Ahem!

 

[JosteinFlo]

Great sub

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

That finish was sublime to keep it down with the side foot at that pace

 

[Varkanoid]

What is the point bringing Hourihane on so late in the game ?

That was the question last match.

Have the answer now.

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

What, no song yet ?



(I'm assuming we're not pronouncing the "e" at the end of Hourihane)


Loaned him from the Villa and we hope he scores
We're fed up with losing an' only getting draws
Hoorah sang The Blades off we go
Coz we can't hit a barn door with a fucking banjo

Hear our shouts, hear our roar
We hope Connor's better than Bo-bb-ee Moore
Hoorah, hoorah Hourihane
He used to play for Barnsley where he lived in a cara-van

Yes I know it's bad form to quote your own post but relevant in September and slightly so tonight.......maybe

 

[robbiez666]

The great thing about this is that this lad can score goals and hopefully now he has one we might see some more. Got a right shot on him

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Was right behind the goal, in line with the shot, it went in like a rocket

 

[diode_blade]

Sublime cross by Berge and sublime brilliant finish by a useless substitution, according to someone.

I was to the left of the goal, and it was only watching it back later I saw what a really well controlled sweet volley it was, and a big thumbs up to Berge for picking him out.

On the slow motion replay, it looked like it skidded off the top of the keeper’s head on the way in? Can you just play it back in your mind and confirm or otherwise?

Do some fans not keep an eye on fitness issues ,it's well documented Fleck is carrying a groin problem and was struggling.
Crazy to leave him on even with just a couple of minutes to go.
Billy gone down with a new problem , this is always an issue with players coming. back from injury taking shortcuts to fitness and picking up a new one.
Hopefully not too serious and back for Fulham.
Groin problems can be managed sometimes with a pre- match injection,do some fans really understand fitness issues think !! Would Hecki have taken him off if it wernt necessary !! A big NO !!!
Ironically the sub puts the game to bed..
What a substitution !!!!!!

 

[ForgeBlade]

Wow. Just wow. Tell you what, I've had my doubts about him, and he's been less than great quite a lot, but if he pops up with one of those in the last minute at Wembley I'll build the statue myself. What a hit.

If it had touched the keeper's head I think it would have ended up with us in the stand

It did touch the keepers head

Great header!
